Working on a large canvas whilst creating a pointillism image, is not as easy as i thought it would be. It is very time consuming. And is taking me longer than i originally anticipated. This is because the individual dots […]

Placing these two images beside each other in my studio space allowed me to preview them properly against a white space. This way i could conduct a proper assessment. The image on the right with the dark background didn’t portray […]

Continuing to use images that i have appropriated online. I primed my second canvas with magnolia emulsion. Secondly i sketched the basic outline of me image onto the canvas. Using a small paint brush i started to shade in little […]

Throughout my blog I have tried to come up with witty titles for my posts. And with the degree show coming up soon, I didn’t want to leave my titles to the last minute. I want them to mean something. […]

Sorry it has been a while.  I have been busy working on my proposal for the degree show and the final document that we hand in which is our portfolio.  I have been doing some new paintings but most of […]

There haven’t been any blog posts for a few weeks because I’ve been in Mexico with family, taking a break before the final push (and introducing my son to his granny for the first time). Now waiting for the carpenters […]

Last Saturday I was part of an artist residency at Slack Space in Colchester. Different artists have been coming in over this month and spending a day creating some work in the space. The work will be part of an […]

Above is a picture of a vintage doll I have called Juana, and below a link to a very short film staring Juana and her brother Paquito. This is my third short film since I discovered iMovie exactly a week […]

These reeds were frozen in the winter, some of the textures of the waters edge provide inspiration. In good weather a visit to Holy Island off the north west coast of Angelsey provided a real insight and reminder of our […]

It has been nearly a month since i last posted a blog. The reason for this is because i have had no internet at home. Which has made it very difficult to keep up with the “online diary”. This is […]

This piece of work is titled Cocoon by artist Rebecca Horn, in this image Horn shows two stages of the  morphing of the human body or the extent of it, one phase shows the body enclosed in a cocoon, securely […]
